If he wasn’t peed off enough at being disturbed, dug up and poked about with 500 years after suffering the indignities of his defeat in battle, to add insult to injury they are going to be wheeling him past Bosworth Field, scene of said defeat, tomorrow.

That's rubbish! That is!
I don't see any credible link to Leicester. Though to be fair one could argue that he was murdered by Lancashire scum and they both start with the letter "L."
Middleham Castle, his childhood home, is the obvious choice and he would be in good company since I scattered my Dad's ashes in the surrounding areas.

Indeed, Baz
Hopefully his remains will be treated with more respect today than the last time his body was paraded through the streets of Leicester
Reminds me of that "Two Ronnie's" sketch
"He saw a small brown Richard the third . . "
Someone sent me an alleged Ronne Barker tract by email the other day. I'm not sure it's appropriate to a family forum such as this one.

Folk were throwing white roses onto his coffin as he was being trundled through the streets
Question...
Is it his full skeleton that they're re-burying or just some of his bones?

All there apart from his feet. (It is thought that they were inadvertently lopped off during building work carried out in the Victorian era).
I watched some it..that pompous Starkey was saying that he was a murderous villain etc and was most rude to those that stated otherwise.I don't like Starkey at all,he's right everyone else is wrong..
Well the Tudors that followed him were not known for sweetness and light,head chopping etc .That was the way it was then...bit like the show now on ITV about the Mafia.
Loch Leven....what happened there..
I'm from the East End of Glasgow,but I'm not right into knowing all the bams etc.My niece's partner knows some of the gang eejits.
